#CARRION PLANT UPGRADE#

Keratosis roughly translates to Keratin ConditionĮcholocation is a Utility ability that allows you to find nearby crevices and hives. Keratosis is found in the Armored Warfare Facility. Keratosis does not use energy upon initial activation but will drain the more damage you take and will completely drain if used to survive a sticky bomb. Keratosis is the third and final Defensive ability that allows the Carrion to grow a thick and strong layer of keratin that blocks every type of damage inflicted for a limited time. Harpagorrhea roughly translates to hook flow/discharge Harpagorrhea is found in the Nuclear Power Plant.

These harpoons can pull out the front of Rivets and destroy wooden obstacles and open protected Power Nodes. Once you use your offensive attack, the Carrion sends out a destructive vortex of sarcous harpoons. Harpagorrhea (or Tentacle Vortex) is the third and final Offensive ability that you come across.

It is purely for combat purposes.Īcanthosis translates roughly to thorny conditionĮxterminator Upgrade Container Harpagorrhea DNA (Only works on humans, not drones)Īcanthosis is found in the Leviathan Reef Base Bridge.Īcanthosis is the only mandatory upgrade that is never required to access anywhere. It doesn't use up energy on the initial activation but will start draining energy once you get close to humans. Xiphorrhea is found in the Uranium Mines.Īcanthosis (or Spike Armor) is the second Defensive ability that allows the Carrion to grow hundreds of deadly keratin spikes around its body that shoot out when you get close to a victim. Gaining 2 Xiphorrhea DNA will grant you the ability to destroy bricks, whilst gaining 3 will grant you the ability to destroy metal barricades. Xiphorrhea can break wooden obstacles, the back of Rivets and open protected Power Nodes. Once you use your offensive skill, the Carrion lunges forward and rips everything infront of it in pieces. Xiphorrhea (or Dash) is the second Offensive ability that you come across. Photokinesis is found in the Botanical Garden.Įnforcer Upgrade ContAcanthosis translates roughly to thorny conditionainer Xiphorrhea DNA Photokinesis (or Light Bending/Cloak) is the first Defensive ability that allows the Carrion to go invisible for a short period of time.

The Name for this ability roughly translates to Spiderspit/spiderweb Species epithet 'gigantea' means 'gigantic', a reference to the large flowers of the plant.Infiltrator Upgrade Container Arachnoptysis DNA Īrachnoptysis (or Cobweb Shooting) Is the first Offensive ability that the Carrion comes across, it allows you to shoot a cobweb that can either temporarily trap your victims or be used in puzzles to activate switches and levers.Īrachnoptysis is found in the Military Junkyard. Genus epithet 'Staphelia' named by father of modern taxonomy Linnaeus in honour of Dutch botanist and physician Johannes Bodaeus van Stapel (1602-1636), who discovered a related species in South Africa. Propagate by seeds or stem cuttings (let callus form before planting in well-drained media). Stems tend to rot in waterlogged and moist conditions, can be saved if rotten parts are cut off, and healthy sections allowed to callus for 2-3 weeks before planting. Water plant only when soil is thoroughly dry. Prefers well-drained, loose loamy to sandy-rocky soils. Latest accepted family name is Apocynaceae.ĭry forests and open bushland or savannah areas, establishing under light shade of trees or on flat ground with broken grass cover. Note: Previously placed in Asclepiadaceae family. Scented like rotten animal carcass, attract pollinator carrion-flies and bluebottles, which are sometimes fooled into laying eggs amongst the hairs of the flower.Įxplosive seedpods (follicles), produced in pairs and united at base, resembling goat's horns, containing small flat, tufted seeds that are dispersed by wind. Texture leathery, edged with profuse hairs along margins. Individual open flowers 20-40cm across, star-shaped, very showy, cream-coloured with crimson to brownish transverse lines and deep red central disk.

This species produces the largest flowers of all existing succulents in the world. Stems start branching near base of plant to form clumps, rooting whenever they touch the ground. Stems serve as water storage and photosynthetic tissue for plant, green when plant is supplied with sufficient water, turn reddish or brown during drought-stress. Reduced to very small (0.5mm), dry papery remnants at tips of stem tubercles, no longer photosynthetic.įinger-like, fleshy, 4-sided, spineless but ridged with 'teeth' (tubercles), texture somewhat velvety. Cactus-like succulent shrub with shallow root systen, up to 0.3m tall and 1m wide under ideal conditions.
